Nice chapter!! Awesome to see Silverman finishing Psychoman with the Muscle Spark! It'll be very interesting to see where the story goes from here. Nemesis and The Man are essentially the only "bad guys" left in the fray right now.

Thanks for the shoutout!
And Maaaaaaaaan, That's not just the Muscle Spark. He's twisting the arms behind him and has his leg in a more jarring position. Way to step it up Silver!

Just writing about that! The whole twisting arms makes it look so much painful! As If!!!

After letting several weeks to pass by, I have to say Hercules Factory has made me a very happy fan 
Thanks for all.

Damn, that's one nasty-looking Muscle Spark, can't see Psychoman getting up from that one in a hurry!
Like Kanji said, it'll be interesting to see what happens next now that this part of the story seems to be reaching its climax. It's been running for quite a long time now, although somehow it really doesn't feel like too much has happened to me! With its revitalised popularity, I can imagine this likely won't be the end of Kinnikuman, but it's still too soon to be thinking about things like that; after all, we've yet to see Akuma Shogun step into the ring!

Especially since the title character has only had one fight so far and that was against Peekaboo about 3 years ago! We need some more focus on Suguru now. Him and Warsman are holding the light for the Justice Chojin alone now and we can't have this resolved without them getting stuck in.
I have no idea what Justicemans involvement will be. Maybe he'll be ref for a final battle between Silverman and Shogun (as Goldman). Hopefully they don't both lose there heads again this time, lol
Then we got Sunshine, Nemesis and The Man left and we're done.......I hope to god the bring some old favorites back before long!

I know it's his original colorization, but I just can't accept red trunks and silver hair Terry, the Blue trunks and blonde hair version looks so much more natural.
Also, you know how Silverman has Psychoman in that Super Muscle Spark counter right now? Well you know what power Psychoman hasn't used in a while? That power where he turns all ghostly and can pass through things... Ya know, from when he was a Ghost themed Chojin called Grim Reaper?

New chapter is out. Psychoman is done. He forgot he had ghost powers. Also god damn, Silverman broke all his bones before even impacting the ground! Psychoman's head just flops around broken from the setup alone.
I'm really interested in what Nemesis and Silverman are saying to each other. I guess next chapter we're moving on to the next phase of this story. I'm thinking Silverman is going to fight either Nemesis or Shogun, and The Man needs to fight someone, possibly Suguru himself...

Haha, you beat me to it again. Read the chapter a couple of hours ago and damn, Psychoman got served!
Yeah, I really want to know what Silverman is saying. Hopefully some can help translate soon.

That was one heck of a variation of the muscle spark. He didn't curl Psychoman's body on impact like the other versions do. Psycho landed flat on his chest and chin. That HAD to hurt o_o

OK, after a bit or searching around and head scratching I think I picked up a couple more things from this chaper:
1) The technique that Silverman used was called the "arrogant" spark. Looks like a literal translation, so probably something like superior spark would be better.
2) Silverman was the creator of the 3 special techniques, and he created the mural? They were originally designed as killing moves. Suguru's version differs from his and Nemesis's as it isn't fatal.
3) He also mentions that Suguru has unexpectedly exceeded the power of the origin. Maybe Nemesis has to??
4) Silverman laments over the talent that has been lost by the commandment that defeated perfects must commit suicide.
5) He remembers Peekaboo and hopes he comes so he can speak with him?

To cut a long story short: it was about time the illegitimate son of Freeza and Kung Lao got his comeuppance. This guy was evil as he could be... But he was kinda cool, too.

So I've been thinking about The Man. Really want him to use his power erase move on someone important.
Like, picture Akuma Shogun or Suguru fighting like a regular human... Kind of bring Geronimo's match against Sunshine when he earned his superhuman second heart and the right to be a superhero. Seeing some important character fighting as a human would be so cool!
Also, Silverman true spark... Killing moves... As a peace-defense brawler he has some dark themed moves hahaha

The Man and Shogun should both de-God themselves and fight as mortals to prove who is the more skilled, with Justiceman presiding over the match.

This is unrelated to the previous chapter, but I've picked up on a potentially interesting tidbit of info fresh out of Japan.
I have a friend over there who has attended a number of Q&A style events with Mr. Shimada of Yudetamago in recent times. On several occasions, Shimada has discussed how he is aware that there are western fans of Kinnikuman (or western 'Yudecky', as Kinnikuman fans are apparently known - not sure if this is a new label or not, I've never heard it before!) and is still interested in bringing Kinnikuman to a western audience. The implication has been made that there have been potential negotiations between publishers regarding this.
I'm not sure if this pertains to the manga, anime or something else completely. There have been Kinnikuman merchandise releases in the west, such as Uniqlo's recent line of Kinnikuman t-shirts, but aside from this no media has released officially since the Ultimate Muscle days. Of course, at the moment these can be presumed to be mere rumours, but I thought it would be worth sharing since this has come out of the mouth of the big man himself.
This sort of stuff has probably come up hundreds and thousands of times in the past and I'm taking it all with a hefty pinch of salt, but with the series's revived popularity in Japan perhaps publishers are finally interested in taking gamble on the series with a western audience. I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

With the rise in legal streaming services and some even offering manga, I think now is actually a good time to try again.

Surprised to see Psychoman is in good enough condition to give out some (presumably dying?) words, he looks more than a little crumpled after that Muscle Spark. Nemesis pulling some pretty sad/shocked expressions so I'm particularly curious to find out what the conversation's about.
It's a little sad to think that all this time, nobody helped Terry put his leg back on...

Lol yeah it is kinda weird Terry is still sitting there with his leg still where it landed. Come on Justiceman, you couldn't help him out? And what about you Suguru and Warsman?
Anyway, I think Nemesis is beginning to question the Perfect Chojin way. I suspect Justiceman is probably going to join Silverman and the two are possibly going to side with the Justice Chojin. There is still the question as to how Silverman acquired a body.

I know some people theorised that Ataru was wearing the Silver Mask at first, but at this point it seems pretty clear he's his own entity. I wouldn't know who to suggest it could be if he was using the body of another choujin (maybe if it somehow was Tatsunori, that'd throw everything up in the air!) but it seems unlikely.
